[Intro]    [Verse] Have you read the script?    Could you picture it? ... is it worth the risk?    Everything I love Is on the line On these neon signs [Pre-Chorus] But I need to know- when you looked away Was it something that I said? Was it something that I said? Well okay okay I need you more than I did before Now that the concrete is nearly set [Chorus] Here in the second act I’m living in repair Strange how the heart adapts when its pieces disappear And there on page 28 I’m so tired of drying glue I begin my grand attempt at building something new [Verse] Though I tend to write The epiphany more immediately I guess I’m trusting that there’s such a thing As elegance in dissonance [Pre-Chorus] God I’m skeptical of pulling scenes Was it something that I said? was it something that I did? Please don’t get me wrong - I still need your help As history repeats itself [Chorus] Here in the aftermath I’m pulling at the seams Strange how the heart adapts in the absence of routine And there on page 29 I find "new" and make it mine But I can’t help casting shadows on all I leave behind [Bridge] Maybe I could afford to change a bit... Even let go of the reigns? Every torn out page was worth the risk Now that the stakes have been raised [Chorus] So here in the final draft I’ve given all I have Strange how the heart expands in the absence of a plan There’s nothing left on the page but I’m okay with that For I found my resolution Was designed for stronger hands
